If you don’t have high-top sneakers in your rotation yet, here are two reasons to consider copping a pair (or two). Michael B. Jordan and Kanye West sport two statement-making versions for those days when you feel having a little more heft in your step. You can’t go wrong with a pair of Js, and it’s appropriate that Jordan is rocking the latest Air Jordan VI "Infrared 23", statement-making kicks that are balanced out by a dark outfit. If designer kicks are more your thing, Mr. West’s high-top Margielas have been on his feet throughout the entirety of his Yeezus tour, proving that pricey sneakers aren’t meant to be treated like holy grails, but you know, actually worn. Kanye wears them with slim sweatpants stacked at the top for a controlled athletic look that channels his penchant for minimalism. The clean lines of the shoe provide a good contrast to his billowy jacket, creating a sense of balance. So whether you’re un-deadstocking an old pair or busting out your freshest kicks, know that the rest of your outfit is just as important.
